Re: Looking back at the White paper... Do you think Satoshi would be proud of us?
"What is needed is an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust, allowing any two willing parties to transact directly with each other without the need for a trusted third party.": Satoshi's original Bitcoin whitepaper is 10 years old today!
Hardly anyone are making Bitcoin payments without going through some kind of centralized third party, like payment processors and exchanges or wallet providers.
Satoshi wanted us to use Bitcoin directly between two willing parties, without any intermediary services.
Do you think these services are crushing Satoshi's original dreams and goals for this technology or did we just evolve to satisfy the requirements of the governments that wants to control this technology.
Do we need to go back to the original vision for this technology or do we continue on this new path?

I think he would not be proud much because some people are using Bitcoin to wrong things and manipulations, but for some thing that we have done using it he will surely be proud of his work.
